New 'Idol' Sex Tape It Gets Worse for Sierra

Published | Updated

Just when Jessica Sierra thought that facing eleven years in prison was the worst news of the week, the "American Idol" finalist learned that Vivid Entertainment has obtained a sex tape featuring Jess -- and they're preparing to distribute it.

Here's one of the many titillating screen shots TMZ got from the hot tape, which show the wayward warbler in various sexual poses, in what looks like a cheap hotel room. (Note the ciggy in the bathtub.) Sources tell TMZ that the video, shot sometime this year, will be released before the end of the year, and just in time for the kickoff of "Idol's" seventh season.

The classy Miss Sierra was arrested earlier this week for disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer without violence. In a new audio tape of a jailhouse phone call, Sierra can be heard calling those same cops "crackers."

Jessica Sierra Loves Her Some 'Crackers'

Published | Updated

"American Idol" reject Jessica Sierra called her aunt from jail -- after being arrested this weekend -- to ask if anyone called her attorney and to say, "I don't give a f**k what they say happened." A winning attitude!

Sierra called her Aunt Sheila on the Monday after her Saturday night arrest for disorderly intoxication, violation of probation and obstruction of justice -- but that's apparently all news to Jess. She told her aunt, "I don't even know what they arrested me for, " adding "I din't fight nobody but the police, little stupid f***ing crackers!"

Here's a hint. Pure class that one.

UPDATE: Jessica was in a Florida courtroom this morning and pleaded not guilty to violating her probation. She was ordered to remain in jail until her next hearing on December 20.

Arresting Footage: "Idol" Pukes at Police Station!

Published | Updated

TMZ has obtained surveillance video of Jessica Sierra at the police station following her arrest on Dec 1 -- and it's not a pretty sight! In the damning footage, Sierra is seen exhibiting erratic behavior; yelling at officers, walking around barefoot, and then capping her performance by vomiting on a cell floor.

As for her alleged drug use, you'll never guess what she told a local Florida news station just a matter of weeks ago!

Fallen 'Idol' Offered Cop Fellatio

Published | Updated

Jessica Sierra was to the point when she was busted last week. According to a police report obtained by TMZ, Sierra told the arresting officer, "I'll suck your d*** if you don't take me to jail." Tempting offer!

Sierra also went on to use the N word several times, saying, "F*** you N*****!" According to the report, her friend tried calming Jessica down as she tried shoving a cop, and then Jessica and her pal ended up fighting in the street.

The broken "Idol" hurled a flurry of racial slurs and profanity during her arrest. She's been charged with disorderly intoxication, violation of probation -- and obstruction of justice.

This weekend, a judge denied her bond, advising that Jessica needs to find another form of entertainment.

Judge to "Idol" Screwup: You're Not Entertaining!

Published | Updated

A Florida judge laid down the law to "American Idol" finalist Jessica Sierra, telling her, "Obviously the bar scene isn't working out so well for you."

The judge denied bond, which means Sierra will stay in the pokey after being busted on two felonies, including "cocaine possession" and "battery," and two misdemeanors, including "disorderly intoxication" and "obstructing justice" with a cop.

She faces more than 11 years in prison.

And it gets worse, Sierra was just placed on probation just two weeks ago. And now the Judge in that case could throw the book at her.

'Idol Castoff' Another Big Bust

Published | Updated

Just two weeks after being sentenced to a year of probation, "American Idol" season four finalist Jessica Sierra was arrested again. Oh, how the wannabeens have fallen.

Officers were called to the Full Moon Saloon in Florida around 2:00 AM today, where she allegedly caused a disturbance. When the popo asked her to leave, she refused and was popped.

According to the charge report, Sierra was charged with two misdemeanors (disorderly intoxication and obstructing or opposing an officer) and two felonies (possession of cocaine and felony battery). She is currently in the Orient Road Jail with no bond.

Sierra, who finished tenth on "Idol" back in 2005, was given probation just two weeks ago for an April incident in which she threw a glass at someone's head. The judge in that case will almost certainly throw the book at her for violating probation.

Sierra spent several months earlier this year in rehab and will be appearing in the new VH1 show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew." We're thinkin' it didn't work so great.

"Idol" Wannabe Bites It ... Big Time!

Published | Updated

Hollywood Week took a scary turn Monday when a season seven "American Idol" hopeful wiped out on her way off stage and tumbled down a set of stairs. Talk about tanking your audition!

An on-set spy tells TMZ the unidentified woman was rushed to a nearby Pasadena hospital and was treated for minor knee injuries. So far, no comment from the show on the clumsy contestant's condition -- or if she'll be back for the Final 12.

Usually, the most frightening things happen on the "Idol" stage.

American Idol's Underage Drama

Traveling with the "American Idol" tour isn't just child's play -- and the U.S. Department of Labor can prove it. This past week, 19 Touring, the parent company of "American Idols Live Tour '07," was fined $5,000 for violating child labor laws. The reason? Underage performers Jordin Sparks and Sanjaya Malakar.

The Labor Department also says that 19 Touring lacked a certificate of eligibility to employ singers under the age of 18. Who says Sanjaya's a singer?

The company eventually filed the proper paperwork but will still have to pay a fine.
